Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other as Reason (R) -
Assertion (A) - The President is a part of the Parliament.
Reason (R) - A bill passed by the two Houses of the Parliament cannot become a law without the assent of the President.
Select the correct answer using the code given below -
Explanation
According to Article 79 of the Indian Constitution, the Parliament of the Union consists of the President and the two Houses (Council of States and House of the People). Although the President is not a member of either House and does not sit in Parliament, they are an integral part of the legislative organ. This is because the primary function of the Parliament is to make laws, and under Article 111, a bill passed by both Houses cannot become an Act (law) without the assent of the President. Since the legislative process is incomplete without the President's signature, they are constitutionally defined as a part of the Parliament. Thus, both statements are true, and (R) correctly explains (A).
